Utah State grad Eric Hipple joins us this week on the podcast. Eric played QB at Utah State from 1976-1979, but you more than likely remember him as the Detroit Lions QB. He still is in the Top 10 in Utah State offensive stats with 6,073 career passing yards (8th), 34 career TD passes (10th) and 6,121 career offensive yards (7th). Eric was a 4th round pick in the 1980 NFL draft and had a good career with the Lions. He talks about his football career and also his lifelong battle with depression.
